Chapter Two
Author's Note: Not much. I don't own anything to do with Dawson's Creek. I apologize for the shortness of chapters.
Jess: I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I plan to continue for as long as I can. I hope it's Pacey too-. I'm not sure it's going to be Joey/Anyone at this point because it's before Stolen Kisses. And I don't think Joey knows that she doesn't yet. Not quite sure on that. But if its anyone, I'll be Pacey. Is that okay? I'm still green when it comes to writing DC fanfic.
"So Pacey?" Dawson said. "Jack just gave this to you?"
"Yeah. He just handed it to me and ran."
"What is it?"
"It looks like some sort of survey."
"For what?"
"I guess for a matchmaking service. The student council every year does this lame attempt to make Valentine's Day a celebration for love and romance."
"I disagree. I love Valentines Day. I think this matchmaking idea is great. What could be more romantic then two people who never knew each other existed taking something as simple as a test to find a person who you could be destined for. It's new, exciting and completely romantic."
"Oh come on Dawson. You of all people should know that Valentines' Day is just some idea that corporate America made up to make some extra dough off us poor men making women think that they should have a day to be worshipped," Pacey said.
Dawson smiled at him friend. "I think this is just what we need."
"Listen D-man," Pacey explained. "I'm all for this experiencing life that you'd been going on about but there's one little problem...."
"What could that be?"
Pacey pointed to where Joey and Andie were sitting. "What about the results?"
"What about them?"
"What about if you happen to get matched with a certain girl who lives down the creek?" Pacey asked.
"Then I guess there's nothing I can do about that. I've told Joey my feelings towards her and there's nothing else to say?"
"Nothing?"
"Nothing. What am I supposed to say? Listen man, you should try this too?"
"Me? Why?"
"Well, since you broke up with Andie and your little episode with Jen, you're love life has hardly been active to say the least."
"I'd rather not Dawson."
"Why not? What's the worse that could happen?"
"Let's see. I could take the test and get paired up with Andie."
"And what's so wrong with that?"
"Are you blind Dawson?"
Dawson gave him Pacey an 'I don't understand' look.
"Don't you see what would happen if I got Andie for my result. It would give her a whole new reason to try and get us back together and I just don't want that right now."
"Don't worry about it. What are the chances of you getting her anyway? There are a hundred girls in this school. You're bound to get someone else."
"And what makes you so sure of that?"
"And what makes you so sure that I won't get Joey."
"Because Joey isn't exactly the type to take these sorts of tests."
"When did you suddenly become the expect on what Joey likes and doesn't like?"
"I'm not," Pacey said. "I'm just saying that Andie is a hundred times more likely to do this sort of this. After all, she was the one who wanted to run for class president last year."
"All right. You got a point. But you should still do this?"
"Why Dawson? Why should I subject myself to this test when all that's going to happen is that I'll be paired with a cheerleader and become the joke of the week to them?"
"I don't know Pace. I've got to run. You might just meet the woman of your dreams."
Dawson took off and left Pacey sitting there pondering over his test. He looked over at Joey. "I think I might already have."
